Welsh Government have published the consultation on Shaping Wales’ Future: Using National Milestones to measure our Nation’s progress (wave two) – Proposals for setting the second wave of national milestones for Wales.  Note – this consultation process ends on 12th  September 2022.

It is important that we draw on the views and experiences of people across Wales as they carry out this work and you are invited to contribute. As a key stakeholder in improving the well-being of future generations, Welsh Government are keen to hear your views on the proposals. The consultation closes on the 12 September so there is plenty of time for you to respond and share your thoughts and they want to hear from as many people as possible on the proposals.

Welsh Government will be running information webinars for stakeholders to hear about the proposals set out in the consultation and will continue to use the Shaping Wales’ Future blog to engage and continue the conversation. If you would like a more in-depth discussion about the proposals please email [email protected].

The Welsh Government is committed to using the Well-being of Future Generations framework to create a stronger, fairer, greener and more compassionate Wales, addressing the unprecedented challenges we face. Our focus through our Programme for Government is on the ways we can improve the lives of people in Wales both now and in the future.
